Little Green Apples
Love Blossoms in Unlikely Places: A Musical Morning Tale
Lyrics
Well, I wake up in the morning
Reflecting on waking up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes
Describing disheveled hair covering the eyes
And she says hi
Acknowledging a greeting
And I hurry to the breakfast table
Hurrying to the breakfast table
While the kids are going off to school, goodbye
Children leaving for school
And she reaches out and takes my hand
Expressing affection through hand-holding
And squeezes it and says "how you feelin' Hon?"
Inquiring about the partner's well-being
And I look across at smiling lips that warm my heart
Admiring a smiling partner
And I see my morning sun
Referring to the partner as the morning sun
And if that's not loving me
Defining love through the partner's actions
Then all I've got to say
Expressing a simple message about love
God didn't make little green apples
Challenging common beliefs about life
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Contradicting the idea of rain in Indianapolis in summer
There's no such thing as Dr. Suess
Denying the existence of certain things like Dr. Suess
Disneyland and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
Rejecting traditional and fantasy elements
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterating the idea of unconventional realities
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Emphasizing the absence of rain in summer in Indianapolis
And when my self is feeling low
Turning to thoughts of the partner when feeling down
I think about your face aglow and ease my mind
Finding comfort in thoughts of the partner's radiant face
Sometimes I call him up knowing he's busy
Initiating contact with someone (possibly a friend)
And ask if he could get away and meet me
Requesting a meeting despite the person's busy schedule
And maybe grab a bite to eat
Suggesting a casual meal together
And he drops what he's doing and hurry's down to meet me
Highlighting the friend's willingness to meet spontaneously
And I'm always late
Admitting to being consistently late
He sits waiting patiently and smiles when he first sees me
Describing the friend's patient wait and warm reception
Because he's made that way
Attributing the friend's demeanor to their nature
And if that's not loving me
Defining love through the friend's actions
Then all I've got to say
Reiterating a simple message about love
God didn't make little green apples
Repeating the unconventional aspects of life
And it don't snow in Indianapolis when the winter comes
Contradicting the idea of snow in Indianapolis in winter
There's no such thing as make believe
Rejecting the concept of make-believe
Puppy dogs and autumn leaves, no B.B. guns
Denying the existence of certain childhood symbols
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterating unconventional realities
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time
Emphasizing the absence of rain in summer in Indianapolis
And when my self is feeling low
Returning to thoughts of the partner when feeling low
I think about your face aglow and ease my mind
Finding comfort in thoughts of the partner's radiant face
